Manta support for SAP Business Objects (BO) 4.3 SP4

Background

Currently Truist is on SAP BO 4.3 SP4. Per Manta documentation and IBM support, this is not supported.

Why is it useful?

This is need for National Review exam (tentative July EOM) to show case the data lineage with upstream and downstreams for regulator reports.

What is expected?

  1. Manta 42.10.2 should be able to scan SAP BO 4.3 SP4 and able to extract the data lineage for reg reports with upstream and downstream if any.

  2. Able to export the Manta data lineage to Alation.


Needed By Quarter

    Blocked on IBM case: TS020916412 (IBM call scheduled for 12/9 8.30-9 AM ET)

    IBM thinks we have configuration issues for SAP BO connector in Manta. Once we have clean scan (no blockers) for SAP BO in Manta then only we can confirm whether fix is working for Truist or not.

    Thanks,
